Nationwide Pacifier Recall Announced Over Choking Hazard
Munchkin pacifiers are being recalled because a clip could detach, causing babies to choke. Ten cases have already been reported.
Munchkin pacifiers sold across the country at Walmart, Target, Babies-R-Us and on Amazon have been recalled for a choking hazard.
About 180,000 Munchkin Latch lightweight pacifiers and clips were sold as a set between March 2014 through March 2016, according to a release from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The clip cover can detach, the recall announcement says, posing a choking hazard for babies using the pacifier.
